Agreed. Exactly why we need to listen to these marginalized communities, and empower them to take action on our behalf and with our cooperation. It’s why no matter how good I think my ideas are, I try to recognize that I come from a position of relative privilege, and that it is likely that even my best of ideas will be lacking in intersectional analysis that is needed to develop real, powerful solutions.

Dude… Why are you speaking as if you’re not indigenous now?

and that it is likely that even my best of ideas will be lacking in intersectional analysis that is needed to develop real, powerful solutions.

It turns out the solution to global warming was friendship all along 🌈

Because I’m relatively privileged and live the imperial core, and thus am not marginalized nearly as much as others, and in fact have a wide array of privileges more than most in marginalized communities. The ones coming up with truly radical, meaningful, workable solutions will be from groups more marginalized than I.
